Warden Neil McDowell and Chief Deputy Warden John Merchant, alongside members of the Employees’ Association at Ironwood State Prison, donated $2,000 to the Blythe Cancer Resource Center.
The center offers a variety of services designed to meet the needs of individuals facing cancer as well as providing programs for family members, friends and the community.
The organization’s largest fundraiser of the year was canceled due to the pandemic, so the Nov. 20 donation was helpful.
“Every gift matters in the fight against cancer. These generous gifts help support the world-class cancer care provided by BCRC for patients and their families throughout the community of Blythe,” said Ironwood prison fundraising organizers.
